Drinking from a coconut.
by SWFC_Fan
At just S$1 (0.40 GBP / 0.60 Euros), coconuts are excellent value!
I bought a coconut from a street seller in "Little India", who proceeded to cut out a hollow in the top with a little axe and gave me a straw with which to drink the coconut milk.
Once you've finished drinking the milk, you can take the coconut back to the seller and he will hack it to pieces allowing you to eat the actual coconut.
A refreshing drink and a snack - and all for just S$1.
Tamil
by yuet29
Almost all of the Indian in Singapore can understand and speak english, but their mother tounge is Tamil. There are also some with malay mother tounge.
Tamil are widely spoken in South India and below listed some common vocab. Just to share these words since I am taking basic Tamil class in school..
vanakkam - Hello/good morning/good afternoon/good evening/good night..
nanri- thank you
ama- yes
illai- no
itu enna velli- this one how much
en- me
nan- I
un- your
ni- you
venum- want
ventum- dont want
teriyum- know
teriyatu- dont know
enakku koli coru venum- to me, chicken rice wanted (weird right? there is not 'I want chicken rice' in Tamil)
After a semester of classes, I found that Tamil is a very hard to learn language, harder than english, chinese or malay at least. There are different word for I eat, you eat, she eats,he eats, it eats, they eat... the categories involved are more than in english he/she/it and I/ you/we/they.
Fine for everything - almost
by vec
Singapore is known as a country where you can get a fine for almost anything, like not flushing the toilet, being in possession of a chewing gum or not crossing the street on the right place. And it's signs everywhere reminding you about what to not do.
If eating something in the subway, you might have to pay 500 SGD which is quite much(about 290 USD). But I was though suprised to see that it's just not allowed to bring the Singaporean favourite fruit Durian, it's at least no fine for bringing this smelly but tasty fruit.
